The Miix 630 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 with integrated Adreno 540 graphics. It features a 12.3-inch 1920x1280 touchscreen display which, when paired with the included Lenovo pen, offers up to 1,024 levels of pressure sensitivity for drawing and writing. Other features include a 5MP front facing infrared camera with Windows Hello support, 13MP rear camera, detachable backlit keyboard with touchpad, and integrated LTE for the "always on" feature that distinguishes these devices from those with traditional mobile connectivity options.

Despite its "always on" capabilities, the Miix 630 joins other Windows on ARM devices in touting lengthy battery life, with negligible battery draw while in standby mode and actual usage time of 20 hours for tasks such as continuous video playback.

I have a bad feeling about these devices. I think launching them with the 835 is a mistake and might lead to the Netbook problem where people categorically avoid the devices because of a bad initial experience. I know these are much faster than the N270 was, but still...trying to sell an $800 computer with a processor that is significantly slower than the iphones that many consumers own seems like a bad idea.
